N. AFRICA HATED
Bitterness Exists Between
Pro-Vichy and Pro-Allied
Population.
Br Walter Cronklt
United Press Correspondent
Port Lvautev. French Morocco
(Delayed) U.R A baby-faced
boy of 18, bundled Into an over-
coat which concealed the French
Foreign Legion uniform that
would have branded him a de
serter, offered me a list of
Frenchmen today.
"We want you to shoot them
a soon as possible," he explain
ed.
Those on the list were pro
Vichy Frenchmen. They had
been in the minority, but for
two years they had matters their
own way and ruled with an iron
hand under Nazi guidance. The
festering bitterness which has
arisen between them and pro-
Allied Frenchmen is a baffling
problem for the aUest diplomats
with the American occupation
forces in French West Africa,
Before I encountered that boy
I had been sitting at a side walk
cafe filled with laughing, gleeful
Frenchmen. It was the pro-At
lied" cafe of Port Lyautey
Across the street was the "pro-
Vichy almost empty.
"Waited Two Years
"We have had to whisper Just
as they whisper in Germany and
France," an Allied sympathizer
told me. He was wearing the tri
color badge his friends had brok
en out when the American
troops arrived.
"We've waited two long years
for you to come," he said, "so
we could talk out loud once

On five sectors of the long Russian front, the Reds are pourtng It on tin

continued their offensive near Rzhev and Vyssma (1) and pushed back

more.
There were sullen looks from
tha pro-Vichy cafe. I felt un
comfortable sitting there, as
though I had stepped Into a fam
ily feud. So I left, and then I
met the boy who wanted to kill
all pro-Vichyltes.
He stopped me to inquire the
way to American army head
quarters. He answered my quizzi
cal look by opening his overcoat
Just a bit to reveal a glimpse of
the bright uniform of the For
eign Legion.
"I have waited two years for
a chance to escape so I could
fight with the democracies
again," the boy said. "When the
Americans came I ran
away from my regiment at
Meknes and walked 80 miles
here. Now will you tell me
where the Americans are?"
Had to Be Returned
I told him, but I knew he
faced a rude shock. The Ameri
can forces had received scores of
French Legionnaires Poles,
Russians, Czechs and others
who had similar ideas. But the
Americans had no facilities to
care for them, and technically,
now that the armistice delegates
were meeting in Algiers, they
were under obligation to return
these lads to their troops.
Another problem Is what to
do with the merchants of Mor
occo, who want to do a little
"business as usual" with the help
of American merchandise and
American money.
There are a score of first-class
shops In this modern colonial
outpost of 17,000 persons, some
fancier than those in an Ameri
can city of similar size. From
the hardware merchant to the
beauty operator, they told the
same story to. the, first Ameri
cans to arrive.
"Now if America will Just
send us something to sell," they
sad.
Received Little Goods
They pointed to empty shelves.
Virtually isolated since the fall
of France, little merchandise had
reached them. ,
The population would like
something to buy. They have a
fair amount of staples like meat.
fish, cereals and the like, which
they can produce themselves,
but they need clothing, other
foodstuffs and gasoline for their
Immobilized machines.
The ravages of idleness are
visible throughout Port Lyautey.
Its modern docks and ware
houses once handled thousands
of tons of shipping annually,
sending millions of dollars worth
of merchandise Inland to Mek
nes and Fez.
But when the Americans came
they found the machinery of the
dock cranes rusted. Ships had
been up the river for months or
years, either interned or hiding.
The merchants are clamoring
for American goods to speed up
the slowing commercial heart of
West Africa.

Year after year, we have striven with research and resources) to better the methods
